Metroid: Other M is a very different type of project compared to what Team Ninja has handled in the past. Nintendo has entrusted the company with one of its most sacred franchises and this also marks the first time that they will be working with the Wii hardware. Team Ninja Producer Yosuke Hayashi simply sees Other M as a new challenge, and Hayashi believes that it will be possible to “have a great accomplishment on the Wii.”

“It is true that I think a lot of people assume that we go after the most powerful machine that’s out there, there’s no denying in that. That’s one side of Team Ninja that will continue hopefully. But the other goal that we constantly have and keep in mind is that we do need to challenge ourselves to new things. And so with the Other M project, what was pretty solid from the beginning was that there was a very very firm concept that we could agree to and that we all thought that it would be a new challenge, a great challenge, for Team Ninja. So in that sense, even though it’s not coming out on the most powerful hardware, we do sense that we can have a great accomplishment on the Wii and hopefully learn something from that and take that to the next level with whatever we challenge ourselves with after that project.”
